A GA made in 2012. Now has multiple unsourced claims that need to be addressed for this article to remain a GA. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

This article is a mess right now. I'm gonna try to remove blatantly bad sources and content out of the article. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 12:26, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Municipal Logo

I am writing to request that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s logo be added to the Delhi Misplaced Pages page in the logo section. As you may know, many cities without a flag or logo use their municipal logo as a symbol of their identity. Examples include Lucknow, Ankara, and New Delhi, etc. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is the governing body of most of Delhi, providing civic services to a population of about 20 million citizens in the capital city 1. It is one of the largest municipal bodies in the world, with an annual budget of over ₹16,000 crore (~US$1.95 billion) 1. The corporation covers an area of 1,397.3 km² (539.5 mi²). Adding the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s logo to the Delhi Misplaced Pages page would help to provide a more complete picture of the city’s identity and governance. I believe that this would be a valuable addition to the page and would help to make it more informative and engaging for readers. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Tamjeed Ahmed (talk) 06:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@Fowler&fowler and Tamjeed Ahmed: MOS:INFOBOXFLAG applies in this? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:46, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, MOS:INFOBOXFLAG does apply to logos. Unless there is something particularly identifying about the logo, it is better not to include it. RegentsPark (comment) 12:26, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

But most Indian cities do have a logo. I think Delhi should have one too. Tamjeed Ahmed (talk) 14:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Let's add both the state government emblem and the municipal logo as well? Tamjeed Ahmed (talk) 17:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

What do they add to the article? --RegentsPark (comment) 19:07, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

So, by this logic we should remove the logos and emblems of all Indian states and cities. Right? Tamjeed Ahmed (talk) 15:44, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

??? Tamjeed Ahmed (talk) 11:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been an infrequent visitor here lately. I agree with @RegentsPark: entirely. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 18:04, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Infobox tweaks

I did not mean to use the 'rollback' tool but the changes need a consensus. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:59, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Why was the revision undone?

Asking for @Fowler&fowler on the edit 18:14, 8 August 2024‎:

Please note that it is a state or territory, not a settlement. It does not need an oversize emblem that is almost identical to the Indian emblem, not a map that offers little information. Per WP:BRD and WP:ONUS please take to the talk page.Undid revision 1239238785 by Pur 0 0 (talk).

If it's a state or territory and not a settlement, then why did you remove my state or territory infobox and replaced it with the settlement infobox? The one I had replaced was of settlement and the one I added was of state or territory. You basically said I was correct, and then removed my correct template and replaced it with what you said is wrong.

The emblem, map or whatever things you're saying are a part of the Infobox Indian state or territory. Look at all the other states and union territories too, they are all also like this (Chandigarh, Puducherry, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu etc). Pur 0 0 (talk) 08:45, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

@Fowler&fowler I said it 3 days ago and you still didn't reply. What is making you undo my revision??? At least tell what's wrong about it. Pur 0 0 (talk) 11:47, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't particularly care what argument (i.e. settlement or Indian state or territory) is chosen as long as nothing else in the infobox is changed. But you have fiddled with the rest: added a rudimentary map of India with no labels in place of a multiscale map in place. You have also fiddled with the pictures. What is in place at the moment of writing is the hard-won consensus version. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 12:28, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Indian state or territory needs an overhaul....should not duplicate info/images. Moxy🍁 14:23, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

So if I keep the same images and use the multiscale map instead of the one which has been used for all other states or territories, then it will be fine? Because I don't particularly care about those things. I only want the correct infobox. Pur 0 0 (talk) 14:50, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Delhi is only technically a state or territory, for the world knows it as a city, or metropolis. All other sister metropolises: New York City, London, Tokyo, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai have only the Infobox settlement. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 17:11, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

That's because people often get Delhi and New Delhi mixed. It's even mentioned in the second paragraph of New Delhi's article. It's similar to how people get mixed up between New York and New York City.

New Delhi's infobox similar to the ones that all the cities have. Delhi, on the other hand, is the union territory, and the easiest way to clear the misconception to everyone is to have Misplaced Pages say it. If it has an infobox that tells its state symbols instead of things like nearest airport and metro system, that could clear things up. Also, the infobox Indian state or territory gives the option to write city in it, so that can enter both metropolis and union territory. Pur 0 0 (talk) 10:52, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

PS. I think it would be best if you present here what you have in mind; you can then get the input of many; otherwise, edit-warring results. Thanks. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 17:17, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
